That is an eye-opener.

Don't expect your sheltie to stop herding.
Curiously, despite their very similar appearance, collies and shelties are not especially closely related. I had always thought, years back, that a sheltie was a downsized collie, much as a miniature poodle, but apparently the two breeds were developed quite independently and don't have much to do with each other.
I thought when she was a little pup that I could get her to stop trying to run after every human and especially every car that went past by walking her where there were many, many of them, so I walked her at a large shopping mall, making her sit and stay and giving her a treat for doing so whenever a vehicle went by. Excitement for her (and many treats) and frustration for me.
